Chapter 654: Make up your mind
652, Make up your mind
[In view of the current situation that the main fleet of the Dawn planet has appeared on the planet Christophsis, please respond immediately to contain the separatist fleet, and for Provide support in the battle for the planet Christophsis. 】
Governor Suramar looked at the formal e-mail on the screen in front of him and breathed a long sigh of relief. He didn't know whether he was nervous or relaxed.
But one thing is certain. Since he took office as the governor of the 19th Army more than two months ago, the white hair on his forehead has increased visibly.
He was born in a middle-class family in the core world, but as he climbed up the ranks of the officialdom on the back of a wealthy family, he had never taken this war seriously. In his opinion, those mud-legged planets in the outer ring used to just mess around and no one took them seriously. Now they are really going to be independent. Shouldn't the inner and core planets be slapped to death if they get serious?
If nothing else, take a look at the super factories on the inner and core planets that cover an area measured by continental plates, and the long list of zeros that can’t be counted without the help of tools. As for the production value figures, is this comparable to the Outer Rim Planets?
But now he understands that to fight a war, he needs to do too many things...
Suramar is not a mediocre person, on the contrary, he is very diligent and intelligent, otherwise It is impossible to climb to this position, but this war is indeed beyond his capabilities.
The Battle of Bespin had already destroyed all his energy, and now, the elusive Dawn Planet Fleet has made him even more mentally exhausted.
Although the Galactic Republic's support for him is not small, even though 48 Jaeger-class battlecruisers were lost in the Battle of Bespin, the Republic quickly replenished the number of Jaeger-class battlecruisers in his hands to 110 and 40 more. Aquitens class light cruiser, as well as a large number of frigates. Even with such a large number of troops, he still only dared to stay behind the defense line of the planet Karl, and did not dare to take a step beyond the boundaries.
However, these days have finally come to an end.
One day ago he had to make a choice. He kicked the ball back to the Supreme Strategic Command, and now, the Supreme Strategic Command made a choice for him, as he wished, but this choice was not What he really wants.
"Alas..." Suramar didn't know how many times he sighed. What was supposed to come would still come. He pressed the button and said in a deep voice: "Please Admiral Maglen come to my Come to the office."
After a while, General McGrane, already dressed in neat military uniform, opened the door of the office and walked in with his head held high. It seemed that he was ready and was not affected by the previous fiasco. influence.
"General, if we attack the planet Bespin again, how confident are you? How many fleets are needed?" Suramar asked straight to the point.
"If the opponent's fleet A is not there, we are 90% sure. But I think that since Dawn Planet dares to send fleet A out, then they must be prepared. We still have to concentrate our superior forces to crush them." Mai Glenn made a sweeping gesture.
“According to what we know now, the separatists are building a large armed space station on the planet Bespin, but because this space station is located inside the atmosphere of the planet Bespin, we cannot know more precise information. . This should be their biggest reliance, right?”
"Maybe, but we still have to be prepared, and at the same time, we have to be prepared to prevent them from sneak-attacking the planet Carl while we are attacking." Admiral McGlenn said, "So, this time I need 80 Jaegers "Class battlecruiser!"
"80 ships? This is basically the limit of the maneuverability we can use while maintaining the minimum defense of the planet Karl!" Suramar was frightened! After a jump, "This is completely a desperate move!" Maglen said seriously: "Your Majesty the Governor, there are only two outcomes in war: victory and defeat. Since we have decided to attack, we must get a victory, otherwise , we might as well continue to hold on to our current position.”
Suramar frowned, still looking a little hesitant.
McGlenn continued: "And I do think that the strength of 80 Jaeger-class battlecruisers is not safe enough..."
"Where do we have more battleships?" Suramar became impatient with Maglen's greed.
"We don't have more power in our hands, but others have...for example, the Airu people..." Admiral McGlenn's face darkened, "The Airu people in the Model Sector , there was a conflict with Dawn Planet over the matter in the Kuna Star Cluster colony, and a war broke out between the two parties, but they were defeated by Dawn Planet within a few days.”
"I know this. But what does this have to do with us? Because of that war, the Elru withdrew from the Galactic Republic, and since they could be defeated by the Dawn Planet within a few days at that time, they can do it now." Sulla Ma frowned and said.
Admiral McGrane said: "Do you know why the Airu people were defeated within a few days?"
Suramar shook his head and waited for Maglenn of high opinion.
“Because they have placed themselves in an equal or even higher position than the Dawn Planet, and want to compete with the Dawn Planet in space.” Admiral McGrane said, “And now, if If they lower their posture...then the situation will be different..."
"Is there any point in doing this?"
"Of course there is. The Annaji planet is the most stable hyperspace channel in the entire Model sector. If the Dawn planet wants to send troops to reinforce Bespin, a large-scale fleet must pass through the Annaji planet, otherwise it will have to wait until Endor. We can only set off after the hyperspace channel near the planet is stabilized. This time is uncertain. Therefore, as long as we can control the hyperspace channel of the planet Annaji, it is equivalent to dividing the control area of Dawn Planet into three!" Mag! Lun clicked a few times on the holographic star map.
Suramar looked at the place marked by Magron on the holographic star map. In this mark, a red line was drawn on the planet Annaji, and this red line separated Bespin, where Fleet A is located. The planet, the Dawn planet, and the Noah-Ha-on planet where the B fleet is located are divided into three parts.
His expression kept changing, and then he asked in a low voice: "How confident are you on the planet Annaji?"
"The Jedi Order once sent Master Shen Qiaoen to Annaji. Later, Master Shen Qiaoen was transferred back to the core area to defend Planet Sarabin. The work on Planet Annaji was taken over by Master Yahe Yahe, and his work has been quite effective. "Mai. Admiral Glenn said.
Suramar's eyes finally became firm. He nodded sharply and said, "Then, let's take action!"
